Ukulele walk

Submitted by Fun at Foster on December 11, 2013 - 4:45pm

Last weekend E.P. Foster Library brought the music to the streets with our first ever Ukulele walk, the purpose was to promote the availability of ukuleles for check-out from the library and to encourage patrons to take a free monthly ukulele lesson provided by the library. Anacapa Ukulele provided the talent for the walk. Brad played bass ukulele, Jason was the lead singer and played the concert ukulele and Cary banged out the drum beats on a wooden box, a dynamite trio indeed, all from Anacapa Ukulele I might add. The trio, aided by a colorfully decorated book cart pushed by yours truly, weaved a serpentine path through Ventura’s historic downtown area. Super Alan from the library assisted with flyer distribution, and I am now cognizant of the fact that Alan is the king of flyer distribution!

Strumming, singing, and showing off the library’s ukuleles were the tasks of the day and I must say we performed these flawlessly. I failed to mention the Wine walk was going on at the same time as the Ukulele walk, making for a wonderful blend of uninhibited fun, in a wholesome sort of way of course. Our path took as far as the old Top Hat burger place and when we returned to the library Venus appeared in the southwestern sky, the air got a bit chilly, then the lovely walk came to a close. Next year...
